Opendir - pattern usage

Question

Is it possible to get subset of files in given directory, e.g. for file pattern search instead of entire directory list.
I.e. instead of below, getting only a subset ?
// Open directory
struct dirent           dp = (struct dirent ) buff;
DIR* l_dir = opendir(p_filepath);
if (l_dir != NULL } {
// Read in entries in the directory
while ((readdir_r(l_dir, dp)) != NULL)
RWCString l_filename = dp->d_name;
if (l_filename != "." && l_filename != "..")
l_dirlist.append(l_filename); // Entire directory in list
closedir(l_dir);

What types of patterns are other Creator users
employing in their development? I am curious to know
if people are just doing all of their business and
display logic in a single page bean or if they are
applying some abstraction and using page beans only
for views.
I plan to use page beans only for views myself and
employ some data access objects and business objects
to add some abstraction, but is there a standard or
recomended approach to application design with this
new component model?I expect that we will see two common application architecture patterns be used.
The first is fairly simple, with components bound directly to database columns, and the corresponding database update logic embedded directly in the event handlers in a page bean. Creator has some particular support to enable developing this sort of application, because it is targeted to meet the needs of corporate developers who may not understand (or be able to build, or have time to build) data abstraction layers.
On the other hand, more sophisticated or enterprise scale applications, or those built by Java developers who understand object oriented development, and who have already created data abstractions, will want to reuse those objects in the Creator-built applications as well. This is certainly a reasonable thing to do, and you will see Creator evolve some additional support for this model in future versions.
